Palm Springs to Paso Robles options?

[mileshuff]

I've always driven through L.A. to 101 or I-5 to 46. L.A. can be a pain for the long drive through city traffic. Looking at alternatives which show roughly the same mileage and bypass L.A. Any of these good options for towing a 5'er? Other options or just stick with driving through L.A.

1) I-10, I-15, 138, I-5, 46
2) I-10, I-15, 138, 14, 58, 99, 46
3) I-10, I-15, 395, 58, 99, 46

10 to 15 15 to 210 210 to 118 118 to 23 to 101
118 is a shorter path and better way to go than 126. you can also run 134 to 101 but be ready for stop and go

PS I live in Ventura

We've gone that route many times but 210 often has the typical heavy LA traffic. Depends on the time, same as other LA freeways. So far that has been our preferred route. I've just found 210 to be tiring and slow at times.

If its not after 3pm on a Friday your fastest route and minimal grades would be: 10to210 210to134 134to101. the 126 is way to far north and is called blood alley for a reason.
